Thirsty Turtle

I was in last night for pool league. Service was a bit sketchy. Drinks were strong, music was great.this is the proto dive bar...should offend some and scare some.regulars were CAF. Pretty good time had by all.Thanks

Lex was super nice and conversational.. made sure I got what I needed and even offered to look into a specific brand I was looking for...

I went in for a drink. He wanted my handbag and to search me. Why? The place was nasty. What would I want to steal? He took my bag out of my hand and walked off with it. The bartender told me to get out. It was obvious they didnt want ME there. My civil rights were violated. They will be hearing from me...The place sucked. ​

Only the regular's get service. If you walk in to try the place, you get ignored and they look at you like you have 3 heads.

Kind of a dive bar, definitely needs some work. But the beer was good and the service was friendly. Skip the bathrooms

This bar sucks. It's huge and affordable but it doesn't seem safe. I went once and someone got beat up and no one even reacted everyone acted like it's normal.

It's an okay place. Kind of like a hole in the wall. Drink prices vary depending on who is bar tending. My friends and I go when no one feels like driving far just to enjoy drinks and play some pool.

What can I say about the Turtle.....It's definitely a townie bar...the usual mix in here are the trailer park trash and ghetto hood rats. The music can vary they have a juke box and sometimes a DJ on the weekends.The drinks are cheap, they have alright bar food (nothing to brag about) and it's a close to home bar when you want to chill and maybe watch a game without a huge crowd. Is it cultured, sophisticated, or even a place soccer moms and Short North/German Village Yuppies would hang????? Definitely not. But ladies if you don't want to be harrassed, want to drink on a dime, come in your sweats/pajamas, have a chill conversation with friends then this may be your place.FYI: The wait/bartenders are pretty nice and make strong drinks for the cheap*

The Turtle is my local of choice but I havent been there in a while. I dont recommend driving far for this place. Nothing about it would stand out more than your own local. I will say the staff is nice. They are even better once they know your face. The food is actually pretty tasty. I often stop by here for a rum and coke & mushrooms on my way home from work. I also come here to shoot pool once in a while and have a few beers with friends.People are gonna say this place is Ghetto and I would have to say thats not exactly true. Its a good mix here, the music can jump from Snoop to Linkin Park to ACDC to Toby Keith in just a few minutes.I could go to a lot of other bars, but I find the Turtle comfortable. I dont dress up too much and I dont feel like Im being compared or judged, and I dont feel threatened either.So if your in the area and looking for a place to just chill, then maybe this is a spot for you.

Fun place for pool and chillin. I used to easily spend an extra $20 here just playing music on the jukebox and they took all my songs off today I still wanna play pool but sad they had to kill the music.
